Installing Remote Base Controllers—RBCs SIMATIC 545/555/575 System Manual
5.4 PPX:505–6851–A/B and PPX:505–6850–A/B RBCs
The following options for the PPX:505–6851 RBC (–A and –B versions) and
PPX:505–6850 (–A and –B) RBCs are user-selectable:
• The state of the output points that are controlled by the RBC after
remote I/O channel communication is lost (jumper selectable)
• RS-232/423 baud rate (dipswitch selectable)
• RBC station address (thumbwheel selectable on the –A model RBCs,
rotary switch selectable on the –B model RBCs)
When I/O channel communication to a base is lost, the state of the outputs
is determined by the selection made on the RBC jumper JP6 (Off/Freeze).
See Figure 5-4 for the location of the Off/Freeze jumper on the –A models
and Figure 5-5 for the –B models.
For discrete output modules, the state of the outputs is determined solely by
the position of the JP6 (Off/Freeze) jumper.
For analog/word output modules, the state of the outputs is influenced not
only by the position of the Off/Freeze jumper but by the output module’s
Zero/Hold Last Value selection, if the module has that option. See Table 5-1.
Table 5-1 Analog/Word Output States
RBC Off/Freeze Selection
Analog/Word Module
Zero/Hold Selection
Analog/Word
Output State
Off Zero Zero *
Off Hold Last Value Last Value
Off – no selection – Last Value
Freeze Zero Last Value
Freeze Hold Last Value Last Value
Freeze – no selection – Last Value
*See the user manual of your analog/word output module for further details.
Notice that the Freeze option on the RBC overrides the Zero selection on the
analog/word output module; likewise, when Hold Last Value is selected on
the analog/word output module, that selection overrides the Off option on
the RBC jumper.
NOTE: If the RBC hardware watchdog timer is activated (an RBC failure),
the state of the outputs is determined by the output module, with no
reference to the RBC’s JP6 (Off/Freeze) jumper. Discrete outputs go off (to a
value of zero). Analog/word outputs obey their own Zero/Hold Last Value
selection. If no Zero/Hold Last Value selection is available on the module,
the analog/word outputs hold their last value.
